I had blogged about it (along with other such tools) here, a while ago:<br /><br />http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2011/09/some-ways-of-doing-unix-style-pipes-in.html<br /><br />And seeing those tools is what inspired me to later create pipe_controller:<br /><br />https://bitbucket.org/vasudevram/pipe_controller<br /><br />which I blogged about here:<br /><br />1) <a href="http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2012/08/pipecontroller-v01-released-simulating.html" rel="nofollow">PipeController v0.1 released</a> <br /><br />2) <a href="http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2012/09/using-pipecontroller-to-run-pipe.html" rel="nofollow">Using PipeController to run a pipe incrementally</a><br /><br />3) <a href="http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2012/10/swapping-pipe-components-at-runtime.html" rel="nofollow">Swapping pipe components at run time with pipe_controller</a><br /><br />Thanks, I'll check out your products.<br />Vasudev Ramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568740634188042591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692866151143183230.post-17896416211766770642012-10-29T02:33:39.530+05:302012-10-29T02:33:39.530+05:30Hi Vasudev, this is Jack Orenstein.

It is what would now be called a NoSQL system. I became a big fan of Python at Archivas, developing a tool for doing distributed command-line and scripting operations on clusters of nodes. (It's available at http://geophile.com/osh.) The system we developed has thrived at Hitachi, and is now sold as the Hitachi Content Platform.<br /><br />I was fortunate to meet the founder of Akiban, Ori Herrnstadt, as he was putting the company together. The basic idea, a hierarchical storage organization with an ordinary SQL interface was very attractive; an incredibly simple idea that somehow, everyone else had missed. We're also doing novel work in the area of indexing (e.g. multi-table "group" indexes, hybrid spatial/non-spatial indexes), and document access to SQL databases.
